Woj - Chris Paul traded to Houston!

If they're tearing stuff down there, maybe that Drummond for Jordan deal is possible again. JJ Redick is surely gone as well, hopefully lands in Phila which would take them out of KCP bidding. Blake Griffin to Miami? Does the Clippers roll with Beverly as their starting point? Could we convince them to take Reggie?

Phil Jackson out. CP3 to Houston. Have a feeling things are about to get exciting this offseason.

Will be interesting to see who handles the primary ball handling duties in HOU.

Dre and Reggie for DeAndre and Beverly
:pray:

Supposedly Griffin hated Paul, so this ups his chances at re-signing there now.

Drummond for DJ please

Get Dre out of here. That is all.

Wow! I'm skeptical CP3 and Harden can play together effectively, but the Rockets could have something special there.

That's a huge blow for the Clips. Blake and Reddick are likely gone now.

I'm not sure if Blake wanting to return only if CP3 is gone says more about Blake or CP3.

JJ Reddick will reportedly not be returning to Cleveland. I know he still has a really good relationship with SVG so I wonder if he might be insurance for Stan if KCP gets an absurd deal somewhere.

Drummond for Griffin?

bstein14 · Post #12 » by **bstein14** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 5:03 pm

Griffen didn't like Paul and wanted to leave if Paul stayed. Clippers are going to keep Blake and really push to land two big name FAs next summer most likely to create an LA super team.

Clippers get a decent haul and have almost $80 mil in cap next year, not a bad consolation prize considering CP3 could've walked for nothing.

I'm not understanding this move for Houston. Cp3 and harden won't be a good fit. Oh well
Hopefully this sparks some crazy offseason moves.

I wonder if we could dump Drummond on the Rockets for something good. I have no idea what assets they even have though.

Why would you trade 23 year old Drummond for DJ?

bballnmike · Post #17 » by **bballnmike** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 6:00 pm

I'm not worried about the fit at all. CP3 and Harden are both very good off ball/as spot up shooters. CP3
(straw man aside, I doubt anyone thinks he's terrible off ball lol)

Factor in that D'antoni should be able to get the most out of them, I'm confident they'll figure it out. Plus CP3 is still a very solid defender, not that much of a step back from Beverly.

Opposing defenses will literally never get a break from going against a top tier point guard running D'antoni's system. That's gonna be exhausting to defend.

Low key excited to see how Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford both coming off the bench for the Clippers will work, talk about buckets (or not getting enough touches lol).

Well, I will definitely watch more Rockets games. At least they will be more interesting.
